My wife likes to deer hunt but she doesn't like recoil, heights, getting "scope eye", working a bolt or lever, taking a shot at anything over 100yrds, and/or being limited to a single shot. I love a good challenge and this was my solution. First I set up a ground blind on a 1/2 acre green field in a densely wooded area, this solved the shooting distance and heights issue. Now to resolve the gun issue. I bought a WASR 10/63 and ditched the wood furniture, iron sights, 30 round mag and barrel nut. I replaced all that with a 6 positon stock, quad rail w/ forward grip handle, a Simmons pistol scope w/ 14in eye relief on the q-rail, picked up a 5rd mag and capped the barrel off with a muzzle brake. Thankfully she loves the gun and her green field setup. The draw back is we keep catching grief for not hunting "traditionally" and it seems some people think deer hunting with an AK47 is taboo. I don't get it, she's legal the gun is accurate (generally less than 2in at 100yrds) she uses quality ammo not mil-surp and she thins out the doe population. I respect most everyone's opinion on here and would like to know do you all think this is people just being childish or did we really over step some boundry we didn't know about.
